Zonazione del comprensorio soave sulla base delle caratteristiche climatiche, pedologiche e viticole

Abstract

[English version below]

A tre anni dal suo inizio, nel 1997 si è conclusa la prima fase della ricerca “Caratterizzazione della produzione DOC Soave”. Lo studio ha basato il suo percorso sperimentale su alcuni punti fondamentali tra i quali:
• Recupero di tutte le informazioni storico-colturali sul vino Soave e sul suo territorio di produzione.
• Sulla base di questo bagaglio conoscitivo, suddivisione dell’area DOC in 14 possibili e potenziali sottozone individuabili per caratteri ambientali (giacitura, altitudine, esposizione, litologia etc.).
• Raccolta nel triennio dei dati di precipitazione e di temperatura. Analisi della tessitura del terreno e valutazione annuale dei bilanci idrici e degli stati di sofferenza del vigneto in seguito a insufficiente disponibilità in acqua.
• Esame della modalità di potatura invernale, del carico produttivo per pianta e per ettaro, vinificazione separata delle 14 sottozone.
• Valutazione sensoriale dei vini.
Sulla base delle informazioni ricavate dalle osservazioni di cui sopra, si è ottenuta una mappa della tipicità e dell’attitudine del comprensorio, fornendo ipotesi di valutazione del vino Soave slegate dal prevalere di alcuni luoghi comuni e legate invece alla effettiva potenzialità produttiva delle diverse zone. Le zone stesse sono risultate raggruppabili in alcuni comprensori più vasti, dei quali si forniscono le prime informazioni che nel proseguo dello studio verranno ulteriormente verificate prima di una loro definitiva codificazione.

Three years after its beginning, the first stage of the study “Characterization of the Soave DOC production”, ended in 1997.
The experimental course of the research was based on some fundamental aspects, including:
• Acquisition of all the historical and cultural information concerning Soave and the territory in which the wine is produced.
• According to this knowledge, the division of the DOC zone into 14 possible and potential subzones those are identifiable through their environmental features (position, altitude, exposure, lithology, etc.)
• Acquisition in the three-year period of data concerning rainfall and temperature. Analysis of the soil texture and yearly assessment of the water budget and stages of vineyard suffering due to the lack of water.
• Examination of the pruning system, productive load per plant and per hectare and separate vinification of the 14 zones.
• Sensory assessment of wines.
The information obtained from the aforementioned observations were used to produce a map of the typical features and aptitude of the district. This provided hypotheses for the examination of Soave free from some prevailing commonplaces and more related to the actual production potential of the different areas. The zones could also be grouped into wider districts, of which first information has been provided, and that the continuation of research will further assess before they are coded definitively.

“Terroir” studies in the Côtes du Rhône controlled appellation: from zoning to application

This work gives a summary of the most important programmes about viticultural « terroirs », developed on the « Côtes du Rhône » controlled appellation area for about twenty years.

UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy as a tool for predicting volatile compounds in grape must

The wine sector is one of the most significant industries worldwide, with Spain being a leading country in wine production and export. A key factor in wine quality is its aroma, which is directly influenced by the volatile compounds present in the grape, with terpenes being among the most significant contributors.

Mannoprotein extracts from wine lees: characterization and impact on wine properties

This study aims at exploiting an undervalued winemaking by-product, wine yeast lees, by developing efficient and food-grade methods for the extraction of yeast glycoproteins. These extracts were then supplemented to wine and their impact on wine properties assessed.

A comprehensive and accurate annotation for the grapevine T2T genome 

Addressing the opportunities and challenges of genomics methods in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) requires the development of a comprehensive and accurate reference genome and annotation. We aimed to create a new gene annotation for the PN40024 grapevine reference genome by integrating the highly accurate and complete T2T assembly and the manually curated PN40024.v4 annotation. Here, we present a novel workflow to enhance the annotation of the T2T genome by incorporating past community input found in PN40024.v4. The pipeline’s containerization will improve the workflow’s reproducibility and flexibility, facilitating its inclusion as a shared workflow on the Grapedia portal, the grapevine genomics encyclopedia.
